Oh, blame it on me then. smh

Only way Silsbee gets back into this one is if FF stinks it up in 2nd half. Otherwise, Tigers need to try and keep it respectable and not lose by 40.

A joke to be in 4A. You know what I meant.

This 

Win lose or draw (and of course there won’t be a draw) this group of seniors has been a joy to watch.  
 
And they finally made it as far as you can go.  Tremendous accomplishment already.  But if they win this game, with the unusual circumstances that surround it, it’s the biggest win ever for Silsbee basketball.  
 

20 years & 270 lbs ago (sorry Mike) there was Michael Dabney. It is ashame they didn’t have digital cameras then.  If they did this whole who was the best argument would be over fast.  Just my opinion.  

Unfortunately guys I will not be able to update the rest of this game or possibly the next game (5A championship).
Got something to tend to on a personal note. Hopefully I will be back to update 5A game.
 
I will be back to post the game thread for Silsbee's game.

Hats off to United and the Beaumont community. Great 4 year run. If Dotson was healthy, BU would have won by 6 or 7. 

Halftime
31-21 Ponder

Well when we are struggling at Free throws it wasn’t wise to take out one of your best shooters 

I think Harris is in the top 3 with McArthur and Bush.
If he'd kept shooting the 3 ball consistently and had a better mid range jumper, I think he'd be #1 without a doubt.
 
 

It all came down to Big Wes missing two free throws late in the 4th and Ashton green fouling out early.  BU had chances with this team.  Payia played lights out.  Nonetheless, heck of a season and heck of a run.  

Silsbee will win! 

Yes. My first state tourney was 1972

Botley's midrange jumper is money

Harris and Bottley finished with 21 each. Miller had 12 points and 12 rebounds
Bottley was 9/12 from the field, 

22 seconds
73-68 Silsbee

yep

Ah yes!  The Buc-ee’s State Tournament reunion.  Life is good.
 

The line
Ellison -7

in a thread discussing a 17-year-old high school kid's injury, you posted that if Kobe had the SAME injury, he would play and probably drop 40.  That's the literal definition of comparing one to the other.  Let's get back to the game.

Doing this as a paid professional is one thing.  No need for a kid with a bright future ahead of him to risk that future by making an injury worse.  Tough decision and heart breaking but its a decision not to be taken lightly. One made by family first and coaches second.

I'm bias as a Silsbee alumni but Nguyen is the most deserving on offense this year. 

I think D. Miller and T. Smith are the odds-on favorites, but I'd honestly vote for Nguyen on offense if I had a vote.
